Redwood Empire Fairgrounds Exhibit Supervisor Jo Dinning displays an entry for the cut-out decorating contest. The colorful seahorse follows this year's theme, "Ocean Adventure." Most fair entries are due by Thursday, July 3rd. The August fair will begin on July 31st and run through Aug. 2.

This year's Redwood Empire Fair is being held July 31 to August 3. This year's theme is Ocean Adventure. All artists, crafters, hobbyists, gardeners, or anyone who has a talent they would like to share is encouraged to enter one or more of the many departments available to them.

Whatever your specialty, there is a class and division to highlight your unique talents. If your interest includes flowers, gardening or wine, the Agriculture-Horticulture Department has a place for you.

For artists, jewelers, poets, and photographers there is the Fine Arts Department. Remember to include the kids in this family affair, so they can show off their skills by entering any number of classes in the Junior Department, including baked goods, collections, poetry, floral arrangements, preserved foods, and many more. Your child does not need to be a member of 4H or FFA or enter their projects. All entries are welcome!

Entry forms for all departments must be postmarked by July 3 with the exception of Agriculture, Horticulture and Floriculture forms, which may be turned in as late as July 18. Department descriptions, entry information and forms can be found in the 2014 Entry Guide available at the fair administration office located at 1055 N. State St., Ukiah, or online at www.redwoodempirefair.com. Drop by the Willits library or The Willits News to pick up an entry form.
